I recently won a few digi’s from artist/illustrator, Christine Karron. Her artwork is amazing, especially her grey-scale work. I had so much fun making a card with a freebie from her blog, named Sweet Temptation!

I’m entering this card into several challenges including Cupcake Inspirations Color Challenge (my card includes all three of the colors), and Path Of Positivity Challenge: Celebrate Something Special about your Childhood (my Dad had been a cook in the Navy, and my Mom was the head cook at my school, so we were always blessed with home-baked treats at our house. It’s amazing that I don’t resemble the Pillsbury Doughboy in most of my elementary school photos!)

Supplies: 

·   Greyscale Digi- Freebie from Christine Karron (Sweet Temptation)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment-Cuddly Buddly (Sweet Kitchen Sentiments Digi Stamps)

·   Inside Sentiment- “Hope Your Day is the Sweetest Ever” from Beccy's Place Digital Set (Sweet As Candy)  

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

·   All other items from my stash.

Scrapbook and Cards Today (SCT) Magazine is holding its Spring 2022 Challenges. This is my second entry, in the Sketch Challenge (found HERE). I had fun creating a Christmas card with this wonderful sketch, using a freebie from artist Beccy Muir. To give the Christmas bauble a vintage look, I printed it onto vellum. After coloring colored the silver elements of the bauble and holly border, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock and attached it with a few small strips of double-stick tape to serve a backing for the colored holly. A scrap of evergreen photo patterned paper, sheer ribbon, silver cord, a few layers of cardstock and sentiments finished off the card.

Supplies: 

·   Vellum Ornament- Beccy's Place Digital Image Freebie-remastered version (Holly Bauble)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white & silver gel pens

·   Front Sentiment “Merry Christmas”- Computer Generated

·   Inside Sentiment- QKR Digital Stamp (Thinking of You) Also available in unmounted or cling-mounted

·   Sheer red dotted Swiss ribbon- JoAnne’s

·   All other items from my stash.
